First photo: Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in 'Iron Man 2', and new info
From this week's issue of Entertaiment Weekly:
- Sam Rockwell plays a fast-talking weapons manufacturer named Justin Hammer, “who fancies himself the next Tony Stark”
- Mickey Rourke plays Russian criminal Vanko, who creates his own battle-suit while incarcerated in a Soviet prison.
- Whiplash’s suit “shoots devastating, whip-like beams.”
- Hammer and Whiplash join forces to take on Stark/Iron Man,
- Rourke insisted that his character have a cockatoo, which he talks to and gets drunk with while he’s making the suit.
- Scarlett Johansson plays Russian superspy (possibly undercover?) Natasha Romanoff (aka the Black Widow), who is hirede as Stark’s assistant which inevitably sparks romantic tension between Stark and former assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), who’s been promoted to CEO of Stark Industries.

Robert Downey Jr.: 'Iron Man 2 Incredibly Risky'
From Collider.com
"(Iron Man 2 is) incredibly risky and artistic for a big genre movie."
"The set pieces have to do with things that aren't your typical bad guy conflict. The relationships are very complex and hilarious."
"The motivations Tony has and why he turns around and does things has completely to do with his own internal processes... we're kind of trying to tell a story about how a dysfunctional family saves life on Earth as we know it."
Robert Downey Jr. said that he's taking the movie more seriously than any other movie he's ever done, and also that Gary Shandling has joined the cast to play a Senator.

Three days ago Iron Man 2 began filming and the first set photos were posted on the internet.According to IESB ,on set was veteran actor Garry Shandling.The site reports that Shandling is a Senator that appears in a continuation of the final scene from the first IRON MAN film.
Robert Downey Jr. confirmed ( to the MTV Splash Page) that Demon in a Bottle won't be the storyline of the sequel."As a matter of fact, I think that's probably best saved because it's such its own storyline. We're going for the interim space [between the origin and Demon] which is more a look behind the mask of someone who says he's Iron Man and what it really is to become a superhero."Last week,Downey spoke to Entertainment Tonight:"(Iron Man 2) is almost entirely about character, and yet we still have twice as much action as we did last time, so it's going to be nuts. ... Essentially Iron Man 2 is about looking behind the armor, or the armature, of a superhero. It's one thing to say you're Iron Man, it's another thing to be fully ready to do that."
He added that he's been rehearsing with co-star Scarlett Johansson, who plays the Black Widow, and says that "she's in insane shape. She's getting lean and mean."
In other news,Tim Robbins refuted the rumour ( to ReelTalk) that he'll play Howard Stark.
It was rumoured that Gary Oldman will play the role,but that rumour was denied by the actor's manager.

Iron Man 2: Scarlett Johansson to replace Emily Blunt ?
By Nicole Sperling,hollywoodinsider.ew.com
February 13,2009
Because Emily Blunt's commitment to Twentieth Century Fox and the studio's upcoming Gulliver's Travels movie may prohibit her from costarring in Iron Man 2, Marvel is in discussions with other actresses, most significantly Scarlett Johansson, to take her place, EW has learned exclusively. Marvel will not confirm, but sources around Hollywood say Johansson has indeed met with the filmmakers and is interested in taking the role of Russian superspy Natasha Romanoff, who doubles as Black Widow. Blunt's reps are still trying to make both projects work, but Gulliver's is further along, with a start date of April 15. Iron Man 2 still doesn't have a shooting script and a start date has not yet been determined.

The Other Boleyn Girl
I was anticipating The Other Boleyn Girl from the first time i read about it,for an obvious reason:the leading actresses are Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman.Last Saturday,I finally saw it.If you have watched the Showtime series The Tudors (starring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) or if you have read about Henry VIII (and of course,if you have read the book on which the movie is based),you probably know a part of the movie's plot.The Other Boleyn Girl does not focus on historical events but on the relationship between Henry VIII and the Boleyn sisters (Mary and Ann).Scarlett Johanson plays Mary Boleyn ,Natalie Portman plays Ann Boleyn and Eric Bana Henry VIII.
My initial impression was that the OTB was a typical period drama.While that impression did not change entirely,i have to say that the movie had some nice plot elements and some very powerful scenes.Surely,you will not get bored while watching the movie.The perfomances are good (especially the perfomance of Natalie Portman).The main asset of the movie is its two protagonists Scarlett Johanson and Natalie Portman,two beautiful and talented actresses.Quote from Late Show with David Letterman (Natalie Portman interview) :"You and Scarlett Johannson?what a combination...It was a remarkable combination."
Overall,The Other Boleyn Girl is a good movie.
